Note that $ts isn't initialized, so what you are really passing to date() as
the timestamp is 0, at least on my WinXP setup running PHP 5.1.2.

Perhaps earlier PHP versions translate your code into a negative timestamp,
or strtotime returns an error, which also results into a negative timestamp
(-1).

Try something as follows instead:

$day = date('D', $ts = strtotime('thursday'));

When this also returns an error, try capitalizing "thursday":

$day = date('D', $ts = strtotime('Thursday'));

Here's antoher attempt;

<?php
$day = date('D', $ts = strtotime('thursday', $ts));
echo "$day";
$day1 = date('D', $ts = strtotime('thursday'));
echo "<br>$day1";
$day2 = date('D', $ts = strtotime('Thursday'));
echo "<br>$day2<br>";
$today = strtotime('friday');
echo $today;
?>

here's the output;

I find that the code 'Lost' posted in this thread works fine,
I am only curious about this, thanks for your indulgence.
